Farhan Akhtar parties with ex-wife Adhuna Bhabani

Malaika Arora-Arbaaz Khan, Hrithik Roshan-Suzanne
Khan are not the only two ex-couples who maintained cordial relationship post
separation. Another couple, who deserves special mention for sharing a great
rapport post split is Farhan Akhtar and his ex-wife Adhuna Bhabani.

Farhan and Adhuna shocked their fans
when they declared separation last year. The estranged couple has filed for
divorce but it is yet to be official.

Post split, Farhan and Adhuna were spotted
together at the wrap up party of ‘Baar Baar Dekho’ and now
again they are seen together under one roof at the party hosted by Amrita Arora
Ladak and her husband Shakeel Ladak at the terrace. Farhan and Adhuna were
among others who were invited.

Says a source, “Adhuna joined the party a while
after Farhan. Soon after entering she began hugging her friends and embraced
Farhan too. In fact, they spoke for a bit before she moved on. Adhuna stayed at
the party for an hour and left.”

In November last year, the couple
had their first counselling session with the Family Court’s judge.

After 16 years of
blissful marriage, Farhan Akhtar and Adhuna Bhabani called off their relationship.

Post separation, the couple issued a
joint statement, stating mutually calling off their marriage and declaring that their responsibility as a parents will remain the same. The couple was blessed with two children, Shakya and Akira.

The joint statement reads, "This is to announce that we,
Adhuna and Farhan, have mutually and amicably decided to separate. Our children
remain our priority and it is immensely important to us, as responsible
parents, that they be protected from unwarranted speculation and public glare.
We sincerely request that we are given the privacy that is required at this
time to move forward in a dignified manner," the official statement read.

Adhuna
and Farhan’s love story began on the set of ‘Dil Chahata Hai’. Adhuna started
her career as a hair stylist from this very film.

After
three years of courtship, the couple entered into wedlock in 2000. Even though
Adhuna is six years older than Farhan, age difference was never an issue
between them. What caused the rift is still not known.

Apart
from being a husband and a wife, Farhan and Adhuna also bonded over work.
Adhuna like a true partner involved in all the creative decisions of Farhan.
